The National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic is scheduled to return to the mountains of Colorado in 2025, and interested veterans can now submit an application to participate.

The annual event, co-presented by DAV and the Department of Veterans Affairs, will take place March 30–April 5. The clinic is a leader in adaptive winter sports instruction for disabled veterans, promoting world-class health care at a one-of-a-kind rehabilitative event. Known as “Miracles on a Mountainside,” the clinic offers veterans opportunities for self-development and challenge through sports therapy and rehabilitative, adaptive activities including Alpine and Nordic skiing, rock climbing, sled hockey and scuba diving.

Participation is open to U.S. military veterans with qualifying disabilities such as spinal cord injuries, orthopedic amputation, blindness or low vision, and certain neurological conditions. Veterans who currently have inpatient or outpatient status at VA medical facilities will have first priority.
